Listening to this is INFURIATING. Aside from his epic bad takes, MacArthur keeps talking over her, monopolizing the entire conversation, just as you would expect from a man used to being in a position of power. He’s such a colossal dick.

Right. It’s not women who are confused about the difference between harassment and assault. Most of us learn that first hand, at very young ages, a lesson which is repeated often enough so that there’s really no opportunity to forget.

He has not been erased. He can work. Can he walk across the street to another high-profile employer and take a job as a senior exec? No. Because his past behavior has shown that he does not have the judgment nor interpersonal skillset to handle that type of job. He is no longer qualified for the work he did before.

No, it isn’t. That sentence also isn’t relevant to the point I made because the original posted never said that, and wasn’t making that point. They said based on their experience they don’t see why someone would lie about an accusation like that. You challenged them in some bold play to flex your intellectual and…

I would go anywhere, at any expense, in front of any group of idiotic men, to keep the asshole who raped me when I was 17 from gainful employment...let alone the Supreme Court. As painful as it would be.

There are a handful of women on the committee. I didn’t look up the members, but just off the top of my head there’s Feinstein, Harris, and Hirono at least. But it is certainly mostly comprised of men.

As someone who was sexually assaulted, this person is giving their informed opinion. This isn’t 4th grade- you don’t have to preface an opinion with “I believe...” It is implied. If you take issue with the statement, back it up. Do you have an informed opinion or detailed instance proving otherwise? You’re just…

The image of a bunch of old white men ganging up on a single woman is exactly the kind of thing that I think inspires looks like this, so... yes.

Part of the problem is that the conservative mind does not want to believe that bad things like this happen. American Christianity is all about hiding uncomfortable truths and putting on a show of everything being perfect and Godly. They cannot fathom that sexual assault like this happens. To them, real rape is a…

I think adding to it a statement like “This was like my own 9/11 except he didn’t go down” would also drive him nuts and probably summon Gulianai

The mental image of Sarah Sanders fielding this question is gloriously hilarious.

Huckabee is going to enjoy fielding these questions.

This is going to get to him bigly.  She could have written that his presidency is the worst thing to happen to America since 9/11.  She could have written that his wife is hideous looking and braindead.  She could have written that he is a grade-A asshole and dumber than a nutless squirrel.  She could have called his…

I’m sorry I didn’t respond to your other post properly but I wanted to let you know that I’m saddened and angry that you had to endure that, as well as the guilt after the fact. You don’t deserve any of that.

In a nutshell:

Would you want your wife and children subjected to a campaign of terror that makes the Spanish Inquisition look like a pro forma job interview? Your parents? Your friends and colleagues?

A standing ovation and a universe of stars to you for your comment.  You articulated it perfectly.  Also I'm so very sorry for what happened to you.  #MeToo

That’s awful. I’m sorry. Even reporting it was brave, and shame on your teacher.

I’m so sorry that happened to you and I hope that teacher is busy roasting in hell.

Totally agree. I was a real tomboy as a teenager and hung out with a lot of nerdy, horny teenage boys. They would have been horrified by this behavior. Holding somebody down and covering their mouth while trying to stick your dick in a girl is NOT fucking normal! JFC
